What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I mowed the lawn after work today. I'm off for 6 days. We'll be out on a different large inland lake tomorrow on my boat with friends. Then we're going up to door county to lake Michigan and boating/ getting a bit of a vacation, even if it's only a couple of days.

I also loaded all the wood that will be burnable in 2 years into the trailer to be stacked in the wood shed. Mostly fir, but some box elder. I'll need a could more trailers full of wood. The majority of the wood I split was Honey locust, but that will sit out a year and then I'll move it to the shed because it burns better after 3 years after splitting. One of these days, I'll get a bigger garden shed, one of those steel ones that you put together in a weekend, then I can get the garden tractor out of my shed and I can fill it with when honey locust or any wood that needs 3 years to season. Less handling of wood would be great.

 

I was puzzled when we headed over in the opposite direction to come home today. The woman at the booth told me $21. I said okay and went on my way. So $16 on way there, and $21 on way back.

 

Hope you get better soon our friend!

 

It was the same price either direction when I was around there.

 

I'm guessing due to the location of this bridge/tunnel this wasn't the case.

 

Both of my saws (1 Husky, 1 Stihl) wouldn't idle normally today. They both did fine yesterday. All I can think of is a cumulative effect of excess humidity.

 

When I figure out what I’m doing I’ll let you know.

 

I rented a brushcat 66” brushhog for the weekend.

Since I’m restricted from driving, I figured I better not run machinery either.

So this weekend I enlisted the help of my daughter and son-in-law.

my daughter wants me to teach her how to use the skid steer, and her husband will be the teacher.

and I get to video it all.

hello Benny hill theme song.

 

Hey all,

Just checking in to let ya know things are OK here. Doing as well as I can.

Hope to be back more frequently in the near future.

 

Can already hear that in my head.

 

You are right. I know they are tossing that idea around in MA. Heck, maybe they are already doing it - not like I go there but once a decade (or less if I can help it)

 

Well, a Google search and here is the explanation - Weekends during the tourist season the toll goes up.

 

Thanks for checking in. We are here when you feel the time is right for reengaging with the world.

 

I guess I was wrong. Thanks for this info.

 

They charge the same for a motorcycle as a 1 ton truck. That's some BS

 

I had refueled them when they were hot the day before, and put them away. It dawned on me I had heard that this causes problems sometimes. I opened the cap on the Stihl and reclosed it, started it, and it idled just fine. I assume the same will happen with the Husqvarna. Maybe coincidence or I'm on to something?

 

Didn't get the oil cap latched back on right last night...MS290 waterproofed my left boot and pant leg right after it started...

 

I hope that 290 didn't try telling you it was raining.......

 

I've done that!
